The Cardboard People

Always give a wide berth to any organisation which demands lower caps where upper caps should be observed. In the case of akt (previously the Albert Kennedy Trust), it was originally a charity which helped same sex attracted teens with housing problems. Nowadays, of course, it is LGBTQ+ focussed and has the heterosexual trans activist celebrity couple Hannah and Jake Graf as patrons. akt makes a lot of income from partnerships with companies like M&S, Morrisons, Hello Fresh, Whitbread, and Pret, etc. akt claims that ‘24% of young homeless people aged 16-25 identify as being LGBTQ+’ and currently runs a trans-specific project, helping those made homeless by ‘transphobia’.

Review of play: Looking Cis

The first fatal mistake was to have the character deride the format of reality TV shows. There were many such incongruent moments, so it’s not like we could believe for a moment that Ella was vulnerable enough to succumb to the whims of exploitative TV execs and suitably enough we learnt nothing about the recruitment process or the story leading up to such a doomed decision. So, no inciting moment then. The end plot twist revealed that she wasn’t really conducting an exit interview with Big Brother, but voicing her own thoughts to us, which could have been funny, if it hadn’t been quite so chronic.

Review of Dylan Mulvaney’s ‘FAGHAG’

If we were strictly here to review Dylan’s talents as a comedic performer, we’d probably say quite a few nice things. As we already all know, he’s the all-dancing all-singing kooky goofball. But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. We need to talk about Dylan. A man, who for fifteen minutes pretended he was transitioning, wrongly boarded a unstoppable train, which he now can’t get off. This show is a partial attempt to slow down that train so that he can jump off without breaking limbs.
